The ROM mappings in the NSF decoder in gstreamer 0.10.x allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read or write) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted NSF music file.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - gdk-pixbuf: Heap-based buffer overflow in the gdk_pixbuf_flip function (CVE-2015-7552)

  - gstreamer-plugins-good: Heap buffer overflow in FLIC decoder (CVE-2016-9636)

  - The gst_aac_parse_sink_setcaps function in gst/audioparsers/gstaacparse.c in gst-plugins-good in GStreamer     before 1.10.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid memory read and crash) via a     crafted audio file. (CVE-2016-10198)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

This plugin has been deprecated as it does not adhere to established standards for this style of check.

An update for gstreamer-plugins-bad-free is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Moderate. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section.

GStreamer is a streaming media framework based on graphs of filters which operate on media data. The gstreamer-plugins-bad-free package contains a collection of plug-ins for GStreamer.

Security Fix(es) :

* An integer overflow flaw, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow, was found in GStreamer's VMware VMnc video file format decoding plug-in. A remote attacker could use this flaw to cause an application using GStreamer to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application. (CVE-2016-9445)

* A memory corruption flaw was found in GStreamer's Nintendo NSF music file format decoding plug-in. A remote attacker could use this flaw to cause an application using GStreamer to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application. (CVE-2016-9447)

* An out-of-bounds heap read flaw was found in GStreamer's H.264 parser. A remote attacker could use this flaw to cause an application using GStreamer to crash. (CVE-2016-9809)

Note: This update removes the vulnerable Nintendo NSF plug-in.

CVE-2016-9445 CVE-2016-9446

Chris Evans discovered that the GStreamer plugin to decode VMware screen capture files allowed the execution of arbitrary code. He also found that an initialized buffer may lead into memory disclosure.

CVE-2016-9447

Chris Evans discovered that the GStreamer 0.10 plugin to decode NES Sound Format files allowed the execution of arbitrary code.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 0.10.23-7.1+deb7u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your gst-plugins-bad0.10 packages.
